That night when he sent people to kill and silence the witnesses, he unexpectedly fell into the trap set by Xiahou Chongyuan.

Chen Jing was protected by secret guards, so his men had no time to take action and could only feed him a poison pill, leaving his life and death to that pill.

Although the drug was extremely toxic, he couldn't feel at ease because he was not one of the people who saw the death with their own eyes, fearing that the poison might not kill him and would ruin his plans.

Xiahou Chongyuan observed his expression calmly, although he concealed his emotions very well and ordinary people could not see any clues. But how could Xiahou Chongyuan be an ordinary person? He was good at disguising his emotions since he was a child, so as soon as he looked into Xiahou Chun's eyes, he could see some things that he had hidden under the appearance of worry.

"It doesn't matter. I will find the person I want to find sooner or later. It's just that..." Xiahou Chongyuan curled his lips and chuckled, looking at him with a little inquiry, "When did Prince He become so smart? Your analysis is so logical that I almost think you planned this."

When Xiahou Chongyuan said this, he suddenly sat up straight and said jokingly, "Could it be that you really did this?"

Xiahou Chun expected that he would think of this, so he had already made preparations to deal with it.

He lowered his head slightly, and his tone suddenly became a little more timid, "Uncle, you are really joking. You just caught that man a few days ago and he was stabbed. The purpose is too obvious. Even the dumbest person can guess it."

"You do have some sense. Well, it's getting late, and the rain is likely to get heavier. You and the princess should go back now while the rain is still light."

Xiahou Chongyuan didn't want to continue dealing with him, so he directly ordered him to leave.

It's really tiring to play the fool with him for most of the day.

Thinking of this, he looked at Song Qingxue with a very resentful look.

The look in his eyes seemed to say, "If it weren't for you to see a good show, I wouldn't bother to play with him for so long." Song Qingxue looked at him, and she didn't know why she could read such a meaning in his eyes.

After Xiahou Chun and Zhao Wanqiu walked away, Xiahou Chongyuan stared at her and said, "Princess, did I play the fool well just now? Did you enjoy it?"

"It's, it's okay!" It turned out that she was not mistaken, that was what the look in his eyes just now meant!

Song Qingxue smiled awkwardly, and her hands, which had nowhere to put, finally fell on her head, and she scratched her hair in panic.

She asked herself, when she said those words just now, her tone, wording and even expression were very appropriate, no matter how you look at it, she just wanted them to love each other, how did Xiahou Chongyuan see what she was thinking? !

"Not bad?" Xiahou Chongyuan smiled with narrowed eyes, suddenly stretched out his hand and placed his palm on her cheek, rubbing his thumb gently on her face, and then said: "But the princess's excited look just now doesn't mean that."

"This..." Song Qingxue's neck was stiff and she dared not move.

She blinked nervously and her mind went blank.

The scene of the stolen kiss last night and waking up in his arms in the morning suddenly filled her mind. She blushed, but didn't know how to react.

Xiahou Chongyuan thought her reaction was extremely cute, so he started to tease her again.

He smiled and said, "Princess? Your face is so red."

After hearing what he said, the redness on Song Qingxue's face spread to her ears.

"Shut up!" She panicked and slapped Xiahou Chongyuan's hand away, covering her face with both hands and trying to run away.

Unfortunately, Xiahou Chongyuan predicted her next move and grabbed her wrist with his hand.

"Does the princess want to run away?"

Xiahou Chongyuan's words immediately aroused Song Qingxue's strange desire to win.

She put down her hands that were covering her face, raised her chin and glared at him with an unconvinced look.

"I'm the mistress of this mansion, why should I run away?" She roared in a strong and weak voice, but her eyes kept looking at the wrist he held.

Seeing that he had no intention of letting go, Song Qingxue still struggled, and then became angry again: "What are you doing! Let go!"

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Chongyuan not only did not let go, but instead stood up, put his other hand around her waist and pulled her into his arms.

"Excuse me, mistress of the palace, when will you truly fulfill your responsibilities as a mistress?"

"What responsibilities do you want me to fulfill?" Song Qingxue put the hand that was not held against his chest. "Did I fail to help you take care of the affairs in the palace or did I fail to take good care of you? What other responsibilities do you want me to fulfill?"

"Hmm..." Xiahou Chongyuan looked at her lips opening and closing, and suddenly raised his hand and pinched her chin.

"Qingxue, I suddenly don't want to divorce anymore."

"!" Song Qingxue widened her eyes and was speechless for a moment.

After Xiahou Chongyuan finished speaking, he simply touched her lips with his fingers and then let her go.

He knew that she needed some time to think, so he didn't stay here any longer. He sat back in the wheelchair, called Liu Yue, who was waiting outside, in and pushed him away.

Song Qingxue stood there in a daze, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

Don't want to divorce? What does Xiahou Chongyuan mean?

…

After nightfall, Xiahou Chongyuan did not go to Chunhuiyuan.

Song Qingxue asked Liu Huan, but she only heard her say that someone from the main courtyard had just come to inform them that the prince would stay in the main courtyard tonight.

While she breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't know why she felt a little lost in her heart.

In just one short day, it seemed as if there was no relationship between her and Xiahou Chongyuan anymore.

The rain at night was much heavier than during the day, and the sound of drops of rain hit the roof. She listened to the sound of the rain and felt very upset.

"Ah! Liu Huan! When will the rain stop?!"

She roared angrily, and then pulled the pillow to cover her head in revenge.

Liu Huan stood in the outer room, and saw her tossing and turning through the curtain, and he felt extremely happy in his heart.

She heard and saw everything that happened between Song Qingxue and Xiahou Chongyuan in the front hall today.

She was truly happy for her princess from the bottom of her heart.

She had followed the princess into the palace for two years, and finally waited for the day when the prince truly accepted her.

Although the prince did not express his love for her, she knew that he was truly moved.

Although the princess always complained about the prince to her in private and often said things that disdained him, she hadn't told her that she wanted to divorce the prince for a long time.

Moreover, the princess must not have noticed that sometimes even when she was cursing the prince, there was a smile in her eyes.

It was not a mocking smile, nor a disgusted sneer, but just the satisfied, shy and reserved smile of an ordinary woman when she mentioned her ideal husband.

Like willows meeting the spring breeze, like red plum blossoms meeting the winter snow.

All in all, I am very satisfied.

Song Qingxue didn't know that Liu Huan had seen through her thoughts so clearly that she was unwilling to admit, and she was annoyed.

She was annoyed by the disturbing spring rain, which prevented her from falling asleep peacefully.

"Liu Huan! Liu Huan!"

She was so annoyed that she suddenly felt vengeful and decided to get someone to share her annoyance.

"My queen, what's wrong?" Liu Huan lifted the curtain and walked in, standing obediently beside the bed waiting for her instructions.

Song Qingxue reached out and patted the bed beside her, saying, "Sit down and talk."

"Yes." Liu Huan sat down obediently again.

"Liu Huan." She suddenly came close to Liu Huan and asked, "Are you seventeen today?"

"Yes, my lady."

"Do you have someone you like?"

Liu Huan paused and shook his head: "No."

"Have you ever thought about what kind of person you want to marry?"

After hearing this, Liu Huan thought about it carefully before answering, "No, I just want to stay by your side and serve you well in my life."

"You can't think like that!" Song Qingxue said, "Pin'er is the same age as you, and she has the courage to propose to Lin Xian. You should also put your lifelong event on the agenda."
